Let $(\mathfrak{g},[p])$ be a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic $p>0$, and $G$ be the adjoint group of $\mathfrak{g}$. We say that $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfying the {\sl generic property} if $\mathfrak{g}$ admits generic tori introduced in \cite{BFS}. A Borel subalgebra (or Borel for short) of $\mathfrak{g}$ is by definition a maximal solvable subalgebra containing a maximal torus of $\mathfrak{g}$, which is further called generic if additionally containing a generic torus. In this paper, we first settle a conjecture proposed by Premet in \cite{Pr2} on regular Cartan subalgebras of restricted Lie algebras. We prove that the statement in the conjecture for a given $\mathfrak{g}$ is valid if and only if it is the case when $\mathfrak{g}$ satisfies the generic property. We then classify the conjugay classes of homogeneous Borel subalgebras of the restricted simple Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}=W(n)$ under $G$-conjugation when $p>3$, and present the representatives of these classes. Here $W(n)$ is the so-called Jacobson-Witt algebra, by definition the derivation algebra of the truncated polynomial ring $\mathbb{K}[T_1,\cdots,T_n]\slash (T_1^p,\cdots,T_n^p)$. We also describe the closed connected solvable subgroups of $G$ associated with those representative Borel subalgebras.
